Hey W.M.D Crew,
Today we’re incredibly excited to announce that Worms Rumble will be launching on Steam this December!
Worms Rumble is the next instalment in the Worms franchise! Launching this December you’ll be able to jump into intense, real-time battles with unto 32-players!
You can squad up or fight solo in different game modes from Deathmatch to Last Worm Standing. Worms Rumble will feature a variety of fan-favourite weapons as well as new additions to the franchise!
So to celebrate this awesome news we’ve put together a new trailer for you that reveals a new, never before seen level as well as some new items…
Let's take a look at some of the new trailer reveals shall we!
Introducing Portal Park
Say “Hello!” to the second map revealed for Worms Rumble, Portal Park!
This sprawling map built inside a sports stadium features a mix of wide open spaces and close quarter combat scenarios, challenging players to adapt their fighting styles on the fly, unless they want to eat a Bazooka to the face…
The map itself is split into two distinct areas, with the upper area featuring the stadium, a giant map altering portal (more on that at a later date) and a focus on artillery and aerial style combat.
The second area, found in the lower half of the map, is built around underground train tracks where players will be CQC weapons to be most effective as you fight train to train and launch ambushes from hidden vents, so make sure you’ve got your shotguns and a spare grenade or two when entering this area!
Oh and did we mention that the trains move! Savvy worms will be able to hitch a ride to rapidly cross the width of the map… Just try not to end up on the windscreen though!
New Mobility Gadgets
We’ve seen you asking about what mobility options will be available in Worms Rumble and today we’re pleased to officially reveal two of them! (Yes, for those wondering, there’s more.)
As we all know, the ability to move around the map in a quick and stylish fashion is a key Worms feature and that’s no different in Rumble, so let’s take a look at what you’ll be getting to grips with:
The Grappling Gun
A close cousin of the Ninja Rope, the Grappling Gun rewards skillful worms with unrivaled mobility and speed, allowing you to swiftly navigate through the map, change your momentum and even access hard to reach locations.
Worms that become comfortable with this tool will also find many useful applications for the Grappling Gun during a firefight too…
The Jetpack
The classic Jetpack is back and ready to take your worm to the skies!
This tool is perfect for use in open spaces and larger rooms, giving you the ability to rain down destruction from above or fly above the carnage of an enemy Banana Bomb.
Perfect for ambushing enemies from above or quickly escaping a losing battle, Jetpack users should be aware that whilst highly mobile they are vulnerable to precision weapons whilst hovering, so unless you’re wanting to visit the respawn screen try and avoid that!
Fashion - The True Endgame?
Just like its peers, Worms Rumble will be packed full of cosmetics for you to customise your worm and make them unique.
Some of these will be available from the start, with lots more being unlocked by just playing the game however you like and progressing through the ranks, using your preferred weapons and completing special challenges.
As a special thank you to those that pre-order Worms Rumble here on Steam we’ll also be giving them a unique cosmetic pack known as the ‘New Challenger’ bonus pack!
